People pervert Christianity because they act in their own self interest instead of what God may want them to do. There is nothing unequivocal condemning about being rich and powerful (please show me exactly where it says that in the bible that positions of power is condemned). Jesus did bless the meek, poor, and mournful but also would bless anyone who would turn to him. The Romans you mentioned were driven by their own desires as many today and all throughout history are. Again you aren't driven to do what you think is right because you are driven by the holy spirit through you relationship with God. You are doing it in the same way as any non believer does by doing it for your own self interest alone; and use Jesus from a position of authority do act like you're doing His will.</blockquote>
